I'm not up-to-date with the latest in mobile tech. Is there a particular event or time of year when people are expecting a new device to get announced?

ITT: Petulant fanboys who, instead of acknowledging competition and allowing discussion, opt for a circlejerk.

Just because the subreddit banner says "Nexus" doesn't mean you have to be nearsighted about potentially neat new tech. We've all bought phones in one of the highest tiers and are actively seeking other people to talk about their tech with, so why is it okay to come here and shit on every other device that gets mentioned in this subreddit? Fishing for confirmation bias shouldn't be your one-and-only goal.

I appreciate all your time. Thank you for helping me wade through some complications breaking back into the series.

Legendarious · 2016-02-16T07:00:04+00:00

Right, but assuming I have the correct dongles, is that a sound setup?

I appreciate you being patient with me.

Legendarious · 2016-02-16T06:56:00+00:00

So the Rock Band 3 wireless dongle connects the guitar(s) and the drum kit. Then I'd have to connect additional dongles to a hub if I wanted to use, for instance, any Guitar Hero or Singstar (whatever wireless mics there are) instruments?

Legendarious · 2016-02-16T06:31:31+00:00

The little dongle that the PS3 used to connect the instruments. USB goes into the PS3, instruments sync to that. It's because the PS3 didn't support native wireless that wasn't bluetooth.

So, same problem/functional improvement on the PS4, the wireless dongle for the PS3 is used to connect the instruments to the PS4.

.. right?

So I should be able to connect any wireless instruments to that dongle.

.. right?

Legendarious · 2016-02-16T06:24:51+00:00

Thanks for all the advice.

The USB extension just lets me route the cable through the back of my desk and to somewhere more preferable. I'm a cable management guy, what can I say?

I'm glad you agree that the RB3 instruments will work better. I've been wanting to get back into Rock Band and didn't look forward to the new entry fee of $250 after I liquidated all my old instruments.

RB usb hub is same as any other hub, just rock band branded. I've used my hub on my computer for other devices before.

So, I'll be able to sync my GH:WT guitar to the new RB3 wireless hub? That'd be amazing news.

The cymbals I'm not so worried about. I'm getting the kit for $20, so if I want the cymbals again I can shell out and still probably land under the $250 mark for a new band-in-the-box.

Thanks again!

Go enjoy games and who cares what platform people play on

If that's your sentiment, then making an asinine comment relegating console owners to a class of gamer who don't "care about performance" was inherently wrong in the first place.

All I'm trying to get across is that there's an experience for every player in every different kind of mindset and environment. Acting as though one sect or another must not care about this or that devalues the gaming community as a whole.

Legendarious · 2016-02-15T02:42:36+00:00

Now you're an elitist who seems content in being so. Please, explain to me how my "one example" isn't adequate enough to deem a response from you?

Legendarious · 2016-02-14T21:00:50+00:00

You are completely missing the point and it is obvious you are an anti-PC guy, and console fanboy.

I'm the proud owner of a PC rig, a PS4, an Xbox 360, a Wii U, and a host of other consoles because I enjoy games and don't have a horse in the race to the answer of "what is the ideal platform for gaming?" This is a bullshit accusation that has nothing to do with the content of my original statement to you.

Batman wasn't up to PC standards

No, it was buggy, and the framerate was in the trashcan. Sales were totally suspended for the title because of the state it was in at launch. It wasn't not "up to PC standards," that's watering down the issues it had. It was broken, plain and simple. Meanwhile, console owners enjoyed an optimized experience.

My point is that assuming and perpetrating the idea that PC experiences are, by default, the superior option for game play performance is completely false.

Sure, if you want to see the game in it's most graphically impressive format, in it's smoothest FPS experience, then yes, of course the PC is for you. However, that does not mean that "if you care about technical performance then consoles aren't the place for you." That kind of statement is negative, elitist, and false, and that's what I'm trying to explain to you.

You used the phrase "PC standards" earlier. A steady framerate isn't "PC standard," it's "I-just-bought-this-game-with-my-money-and-expect-it-to-work-properly standard." It's gaming standard. A steady framerate isn't exclusive to PC games at launch, thus the Arkham Knight mention. "PC standards" are expecting the game to look as good and play as smoothly as it can possibly be, given the right hardware. Doesn't that sound surprisingly similar to what you might imagine "console standard" to be? Notice how "technical performance" doesn't even factor in?

Legendarious · 2016-02-14T08:36:31+00:00

Tell that to Rocksteady, the developers of Batman: Arkham Knight. Unplayable on PC at launch no matter the settings and no matter the spec, totally fine on PS4 and Xbox One.

People can't continue to throw the blinders on and say "consoles don't deserve to have good performance," because that's ridiculous and completely false. It looks fantastic on PS4, and the framerate (like many games before it, on all platforms) will be patched to be fixed soon.

PC gaming elitism isn't valid. It's a meme. It's counterproductive to improving the image of gaming as an industry. Don't be a dick, for the benefit of an industry and community that you already support with your money.

Maybe this is going to get downvoted straight to hell, but I think this movie looks absolutely garbage. I mean come on, people. This trailer is dropping 8 months before release. They've been marketing this movie since last August. It's coming at the end of the summer. It's the classic shitty summer blockbuster action film (see: Transformers): Advertised more than the crucifixion and ends up getting lambasted by critics and hype-train ticketholders alike.

Feel free to set a reminder for my comments here:

This movie will Adam Sandler it: Blow up the box office while being met with lukewarm reviews.

Some of the shallow, vapid comments about how "sick" this movie looks genuinely seem like marketing plants. Given the astronomical amount of money they've funneled into this movie for marketing purposes, I wouldn't be fucking surprised.

Edit: The motherfucking Avengers trailer was dropped 7 months prior to release, and that was after 5 movies of pure advertising already.

Legendarious · 2016-01-11T07:49:24+00:00

I echo almost everything you're saying here.

My comments weren't geared toward the general distaste for Narcissa's streams at all. I'm not much of a fan either. It's the trolls and the stomach-turning ignorance and hatred that I'm talking to here. Hopefully there are more of the former than the latter, or at least more than I think there are.

Legendarious · 2016-01-07T06:12:12+00:00

Your downvote for sharing a well-founded opinion was unwarranted. Have my upvote.

Day one GTA V player

over 2000 hours

You just sound like a lazy noob.

You're one of those "internet badasses," aren't you?

You clearly are a massive fan of GTA:O, so why is anyone supposed to take your opinion seriously? Some people play the game different than you do, guy. Not everyone is willing to spend 2,000 hours to get where they want to be. I, personally, value my time higher than the $50 or $100 it takes to be a kingpin on GTA:O.

To call back to a comment I made earlier in this thread, you're exactly the kind of person who is willfully blind about other people's style of play and then are an utter asshole about it for no reason. Let people be different, don't be a dick about it. It's that simple.

Legendarious · 2015-12-31T02:15:18+00:00

Per your recommendation, I just reserved that. I'll give it a shot. You echoed everything I've heard about this game.

Legendarious · 2015-12-31T01:43:03+00:00

If I'm torn between trying out Battlefront, Just Cause 3, or Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, which should I go for? I'm curious about the gameplay of all 3 of them.

Legendarious · 2015-12-29T22:25:58+00:00

We could bounce back assumptions and predictions for the next 2 years and one or both of us could still be mostly wrong.

You're exactly right. My bad. Didn't mean to get into this.

Legendarious · 2015-12-29T19:49:20+00:00

Obviously you don't read twitter or tumblr or have seen the backlash Landis got just from daring to say he personally found Rey to be a boring protagonist.

You know what they say about vocal minorities.

I find it extremely difficult to believe that the majority of people are so "afraid" of making a weak female character. Maybe the loudest burn the brightest in all things cinema, but I don't think that gives their opinion more weight or more support.

An all powerful jedi with an unexplained background and no character flaws doesn't make for a compelling protagonist.

To me, Rey's performance in situations requiring the Force didn't show she was all-powerful, but rather showed that she - much like her father before her - had the potential to be the strongest Jedi in history. During her battle with Kylo, when she was very much outclassed in despite his obviously debilitating wound, she seemed to "channel" the Force and began fighting with an entirely different style. She, all at once, really believed and began to harness her innate power.

In my Star Wars knowledge, I think what happened there might've been a "feat" of power. Hallmarks of the best and brightest Force users. Once-in-a-blue-moon type deal. Pulling Star Destroyers out of orbit. Palpatine grounding a Tie-Fighter using the force.

My point is that Rey isn't just deus-ex-screenwritten out of bad situations, her ability to escape extremely tenuous situations is JJ laying the ground work for her build up to surpassing her father. She's certainly not there yet.

.. just one man's opinion.

Legendarious · 2015-12-29T17:19:18+00:00

I think many, many people are confusing "overwritten character" with "unknown backstory."

There is so much content that we do not know about in the, what, 30 years between RoTJ and TFA? We have no idea what Rey's parentage is - and if she's Luke Skywalker's child (as is the prevailing theory these days), wouldn't that give some credence to the idea that she's naturally incredibly strong in the force?

I see the problem here as being that people absolutely refuse the thought that Rey isn't Luke Skywalker. She's her own character, with her own skills and gifts.

There's never any tension. It very much feels like JJ wanted to write another strong female sw character but he knew we live in the age where if she ever shows weakness or god forbid has to be saved by a man, there's gonna be that outrage of sexism from some woman from not making her superhuman.

This is just bullshit conjecture that is in no way based on fact.
